Podcast Episode 109: Life as a Woman Entrepreneur with Meg Keene of A Practical Wedding

Welcome to the Law School Toolbox Podcast. Today we have a special guest on the podcast, Meg Keene. Meg is the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of A Practical Wedding, (the top independently-held wedding publication in the world), the author of two books (A Practical Wedding and A Practical Wedding Planner), and the creator of a new project, The Compact. Although Meg is not a lawyer, she is married to one, so we consider her part of the club. She’s also a kick-ass entrepreneur with a lot of very interesting things to say, so tune in!

In this episode we discuss:

• The path to entrepreneurship and what you need to know to be successful
• Challenges of running a business as a woman and mother
• Balancing politics and her decision to include a social mission as part of her business
• How to remain authentic in sharing your experiences while maintaining some privacy
• The effort required to create and maintain a social media presence
• Being in a relationship with a law student and lawyer
